MEDFORDigiiTRlBUNE Medford, Ore., Thun.. Oct. 10, 1963 Valachi Back in Jail; Senate to Continue Probe WASHINGTON (UPI) - With underworld informer Joseph Va lachi back in his jail cell to day Senate crime investigators moved on to study criminal op erations in cities outside his New York habitat. Detroit was scheduled as the first focal point for the Senate investigations s u b c ommittee. Chairman John L. McClellan CD Ark.) scheduled testimony from Detroit Police Commissioner George Edwards and a number of his aides. Testimony was scheduled for 10 a.m. edt. Valachi tpstifipd Wednesday that the Cosa Nostra syndicate operated in Detroit. He said, however, that he was "not fa miliar" with operations there and did not offer any estimate as to how many Cosa Nostra members were involved. Before McClellan excused him as witness, for the time being at least, the stubby Cosa Nostra alumnus, did estimate t h e strength of Cosa Nostra families in other cities. Recounted Conversation ' Valachi also recounted a pri son conversation which indicat ed that the plush New York night club, Copacabana, once "belonged" to former gambling boss Frank Costello. Valachi gave the subcommit tee a detailed list of American cities where he said members of the secret crime syndicate were active. Conceding there might be others, he asked sen ators to "call me some more cities. Besides the 2,000 members he has said exist in New York City, Valachi mentioned these others: PhiiaHolnhia. 100 members; Boston, 18 to 20; Chicago, 150; Cleveland, about 40; Los An geles, about 40; Tampa, Fla., about 10; Newark, N. J., about 100; Buffalo, N. Y., 100-125; Utica, N. Y., about 40 to 100, and a few in New Orleans, La. He also said Cosa Nostra was active in San Francisco. At the end of Wednesday's hearing, McClellan said the sub committee would question Va lachi behind closed doors on a number of murder cases still under active investigation. Va lachi probably will be recalled to testify publicly, McClellan said. Learned Of Ownership Valachi said he learned from Cosa Nostra boss Vito Genovese while they were cellmates at the Atlanta, Ga., federal peniten tiary that Costello owned the Co pacabana. Two other Cosa Nos tra members made $30,000 in one year from the club's hat checking concession, he said. Valachi also disclosed that he once owned a small interest with a friend in Havana's Ca pri gambling casino. He said they were forced out when Cuba Premier Fidel Castro upped their annual rent from $25,000 to $50,000 and demanded half the profits. The mobster turncoat testi fied that he personally set up the 1952 murder of another un informer. Eueene Gi- annini, on orders of his angry r'nca Mnctra hnSRps. i Valachi, reputed to have a $100,000 gangland price tag on his head, said it cost the oper ators of a dice game where Gi annini worked $10,000 to have his body removed from the gam bling site where he was slain. "Isn't it worth $10,000 to get rid of a guy like that?" Valachi said he asked the complaining gamblers. Former Sheriff Of Klamath Dies Word was received in Med ford today of the death of Lloyd L.
